Lol! You know where I first encountered that symbol, growing up? On the bottom of nearly every skateboard deck I ever owned. Same thing with the Iron Cross. It wasn’t until senior year in highschool that I learned both those symbols were also used by the Nazis.
In most places in the US you aren’t going to learn that, unless you’re already into WW2 history. To the vast majority of people, the only symbol that they recognize as a genuine Nazi symbol, is the swastika.
If he had that tattooed on his chest, I’d take these accusations seriously. But a skull-and-crossbones? No. That’s more of an unfortunate mistake, born out of a shitty education system.
